CALENTURE, from aihre, to be hot, in Medicine, a fpC- 

 cies of difeafe, formerly faid to be common to feamen dnriiiT 

 their voyapres in tropical climate?, and to be eharaaerifed by 

 a peculiar delirium, in which the patient imagined lliat he fiiw 

 green fields and groves in the fea, and was defirous of leap- 

 ing over-board in order to walk in them. This affedion is 

 not mentioned by recent authors, who have written on the 

 dilcafes of feamen in hot climates; and the accounts which

to Jamaica, it was a traniient delirium, independent of fe- 

 ver, and produced by fordes in the Itomach and bowels, and 

 was therclore quickly removed by an emetic. (Philofoph.' 

 Tranfaft. N^ -^C.) Oiher writers defcribc the calenture as 

 a febrile difeafe, attended with a furious delirium, infoniueh, 

 that fix men cojld fcarcely reilrain the patient from leaping 

 into the fea : and bleeding and other evacuations are faid to 

 be the proper remedies by thele authors. (Shaw's Practice. 

 Allen's Synopfif.) In conftqu^T.ce of thefe difTcrcnt ac- 

 counts of the dilorder, Sauvages has defcribed two genera of 

 the calenture ; one of which he claffis with the fimple hal- 

 lucinations, under the title of Piiraphi-ofyne Cahntiira ; and 

 the other he conliders as a fp.'cics of Purcnilis, or inflamma- 

 tion of the brain. (Nofolog. Method. Clafs iii. Ord. :. and 

 Clafs viii. Ord. 3.) It is probable that the difeafe in all in- 

 ilances depended uj o 1 fome degree of inflammation in the 

 head, excited by t'x heat of a vertical fun ; and the inllinc- 

 tive feelings, which, in many cafes of febrile delirium, 

 prompt the patient to plunge into cold water, to relieve his 

 fufferings from inordinate heat, may poffibly have been mif- 

 taken for a conception, that the fea was a plain or an orange 

 grove.

'i'liere can be little doubt but that the bed and mod na- 

 tural mode of rearing the young of this, as well as mod other 

 kinds of animals, is, that of allowmg them to fuck their dam« 

 at lead for fome lenglli of time after they are brought 

 foith. The ufual methojd in Yorkdiiie is, however, that of 

 giving them milk to drink, there being few inllances where 

 they are allowed to fuck. For tlic fird two or three weeks, 

 they modly get milk warm from the cow ; but for the next 

 two or three weeks, half the new milk is withdrawn, and 

 ikimmcd milk fubftituted in its dead : and at the end of that 

 period of time, the new milk is wholly withdrawn ; they are 

 then fed on fldmmcd milk alone, or fometimes mixed witk 

 water, till they arc able to fupport themfelves by eating 

 grafs. or other food of that, or other forts which are pro- 

 vided for them. 



But in Chefhire, the practice is to allow the calves to fuck 

 for the fird three weeks. Tliey are then ted on warm green 

 whey, or fcalded whey and biitter-milk mixed; with the 



between the Ela;us on the welt, and the Lycus on the tad, green whey, water is frequently mixed, and cither oat.meal
